Re: [newbie] ESound Errors in 6.1
Here's the entire content of my esd.conf file: (esd) auto_spawn=1 spawn_options=-tcp -terminate -nobeeps -as2 What seems to be occurring is that I lose sound functions when switching between users, I can go in fresh of a reboot to any user and have sound. But if my wife jumps onto the 'puter and logs in after I log out then Esound errors come up -- NOTE this only occurs in the Gnome desktop. KDE works fine.

[newbie] ESound Errors in 6.1
I have recurring errors in Esound on the Gnome as User. In fact can't get sound working in any user except Root. I misplaced (or deleted) the string on the archives of this list. Could someone please repost or email me direct? In the meantime, I'll keep digging for a fix... OH Ya WARNING: GTK+ theme hangs system in Gnome. (I was a real bonehead in trying that theme while I was in root user, got some buggy things to work out.) TIA, regards Sean http://www.sjptech.com

Add your self to the group 'audio' or you have no access to the audio devices or the esound executables.
